Mini review:
👭The characters were dynamic and fun. I loved watching them piece together codes alongside the mystery of the murders. Kit grew fiercer with every new break but also cautious of what was at stake. My favorite was Violet—from her penchant of wearing the color to her no-nonsense attitude she snuck in and stole the spotlight a few times!
🏢The setting was an interesting take on wartime. It’s unlike a lot of WWII books in that the focus is mainly on the serial killer rather than the day to day lives of the characters. I had heard of codebreaking’s importance during wartime, and this was a good foray into that space.
🔎The mystery of the killer kept me guessing for a while! There were a lot of options and some really good red herrings. I loved how it was analogized to codebreaking as the characters pieced things together. There was an actual string board!!! I had an easier time figuring out who it wasn’t rather than who it was lolol
📚I recommend this to people who are looking for a book to give them chills with a surprising romance blooming on the side.
